little white specks...???

[whywe]

I am new so forgive me if this a stupid question...I have a little green algae growing on the front of my tank and as I looked closer, there were hundreds of little tiny white specks that seemed to be moving and some seemed to be swimming. Now I don't know if it was just the water current moving them but I don't think it was. Does anyone know what these specks are...? I would descibe better but they are so small, they don't have any detail. Are they good, bad, should I be concerned...?
please help and thanks in advance...

do you have lr and or snails, it could be baby snails, or pods

hi whywe i am from upper michigan also. in fact coming to marq. tomorrow.

i have about 15 lbs. of lr and the only snails i have are a couple really tiny ones that came out of the lr. so they are good and nothing to worry about...?
where are you from in the UP peg?

It's always cool to get neat life forms when you least expect it.

i'd say no prob to worry about, it does sound like one of the 2, and if the small snails came on the lr, they may be ceriths which do reproduce well in an aquarium
in a matter of time, you should be able to tell if it is snails or pods, probably pods(but could be the snails too)

i got a closer look at them and their are kinda sectioned into 2 parts and they have antennas and they move pretty fast on the glass...this is the first day i have noticed them and there are hundreds of them all on the front and sides of the aquarium...it's cool

I have recently discover a very small (tiny - little smaller than a ink pin dot) little white in color things clinging to my glass, some are smimming in the water, they don't seem to be effecting my fish at all, or my Anenomies. I am just curious as to what the heck they could be? Anybody have something like this in there tank (s). I turn on my (powerhead) bubbles and they are now being sucked up into the skimmer?

And yes I have 10 turbo's in the tank, so I should not worry about them, that's great to hear thanks all. well be in touch soon.
